George Carlin isn’t my favorite comedian but he’s one of them. I don’t consider him to be the best comedian but definitely one of them. But he’s my favorite satirist and I consider him to be the best ever at that at least the best I’ve ever heard of, I guess all comedians are satirists, they all get their material from what they see in life. But Carlin to me is a satirist first, a great political satirist and a fair political satirist. He takes on both sides, that alone doesn’t make him fair but the fact that he takes on the weakness’ of both sides does because he hits people regardless of party where they deserves to be hit.

I try not to listen to political satirists from the right or left, unless they say something ignorant. And then I’ll write something about that, making fun of them. Bill Maher who I don’t even consider to be a Liberal, he’s so far off on Far Left out there Utopian Land or somewhere he’s probably my biggest target when it comes to political satirists right now, especially on the Left. Sarah Palin and yes that’s what she is, she’s a satirist and pretty funny one. But she’s may favorite target on the Right. But I prefer to listen to satirists like George Carlin, Jon Stewart, Dennis Miller a real Conservative, Adam Carolla, a Libertarian Satirist people who take on the establishment but in satiric form.

If you’re going to take on the establishment, you shouldn’t pick on one side and treat them like the Devil. People who are completely incompetent and treat your side like it’s a God not capable of making mistakes, you should be able to hit both sides when they mess up. Especially when they are hypocritical, perfect example of this. When someone like Sarah Palin or Michelle Bachmann, both have a future in comedy if they want it. Rush Limbaugh a big fat target, that a blind person could hit would be another one.

When Sarah, Michelle and Rush go off on Democrats for supporting Big Government, whether the Democrats they targeting support Big Government or not, keep in mind when it comes to partisan attacks, facts aren’t the important thing. Its what’s believable that counts and they go after Democrats for supporting something they are in favor of. Keep in mind when Rep. Bachmann announced her presidential campaign last summer that lasted almost until 2012, two of her first positions were supporting Constitutional Amendments to ban same-sex-marriage and pornography. She’s got Big Government written all over her sweet face.

But what separates George Carlin from everyone, is his honesty, bluntness and credibility. He has all of those things, he goes after everyone he believes deserves to be critiqued. Both Democrats and Republicans, as well as Independents and the voters as well. He doesn’t blame politicians for the problems in the country. But the people who voted for those politicians and then voted for their reelection. Which is what separates George Carlin from the pack.
